pdftoraster is used only when using the cups raster API. This only
effects printers that don't understand postscript. Not all printers use
this. Cups uses poppler to convert from pdf to ps. The problem is
pdftoraster uses ghostscript. Ghostscript has problems with TONS of pdf
files. That is why cups switched and is now using poppler. The
pdftoraster is part of ghostscript.

The solution is simple. Convert from pdf to ps with poppler and then
convert from ps to raster with ghostscript.
